The operator == is used for which comparison?

• A. Assignment
• B. Less than
• C. Equal to
• D. Greater than

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is equality checking. The operator with two equal signs tests whether two values are the same and returns a boolean result: true if they are equal, false if they are not. For example, 5 == 5 evaluates to true, while 5 == 6 evaluates to false. This is different from assignment, which uses a single equals sign to set a value. The less-than and greater-than operators compare size or order (whether one value is smaller or larger than another), not whether they’re equal. For instance, 3 < 5 is true and 7 > 2 is true.
